I reached coimbatore next day on 26/2/23..train covers distance in upto 24-25 hrs..as the train was late we reached on 5 pm in coimbatore..we checked into the "Decostal backpackers" It costs only 700 rs for 2 nights ..as I booked it from yatra.com
We freshen up and left the Decostal and went to 'Ukkadam-Valankulum lake'..Lake was very crowdy as it was Sunday..there was boating and some other rides were there but as we reached late ..we didn't get to do it..we sat there for half hr and went to "Arulmigu Koniamman Temple" which was 1.6km from lake and was in route to Decostal so we covered it by walking..in route we had to one another temple ..and then we reached to Arulmigu temple ..that was also crowdy and a long queue one for a tree and other for God ..In first queue ,people are watering that tree with turmeric water and taking blessings and because we were late we took blessings away from the god and not went to that long queue..Then we return back to Decostal ,in route we saw a stall of idli ,dosa and had dinner there and went to Decostal and had rest.
